a possibly minority position

[Philip Robinson]

While we're on this subject, I am probably not the first person to 
make this request on SEELANGS, but it would be most helpful if those 
who post something in Cyrillic would also  provide a Latin 
transliteration.  As much as I prefer to read Russian and other 
languages in Cyrillic, about a third of the Cyrillic text in SEELANGS 
postings does not render correctly, and I use a variety of web-based 
and fat-client email readers with different encoding schemes to try 
to parse them.

Regards,

Phil Robinson
